Aided augmentative communication in managing children with cerebral palsy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of an aided augmentative communication system to achieve effective communication between the pediatric dentist and the child with cerebral palsy is described. This type of communication involves symbols placed on a communication board and may be used together with conventional behavior management techniques for successful delivery of dental treatment. A multidisciplinary team caring for the child is necessary to achieve successful outcomes. Aided augmentative communication is a promising adjunct for the care of the child with communication impairment, and may be of particular value in pediatric dental practices where the staff are able to practice and master its use for selected child patients.
